Overview

  • Nitrosomonas eutropha is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, pleiomorph rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 47.9-48.5%. Nitrosomonas eutropha is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Koops1991)



  • This organism has been recovered from municipal and industrial sewage, eutrophic systems. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
